Finally Golf

We finally got our schedules together enough to play golf. We played Sunday at Glen Eagle golf course in Millington. It is on the old Naval Air Station. The Navy still has a presence there, and the golf course is maintained by the navy. It is beautiful and well maintained. I didn't do too well since I hadn't played since July last year. I had no one to play with. I enjoy the company of the people I play with. Ted was down in his back while we were in Houston, so he was unable to enjoy the game of golf.

Alan, who was unable to go on Sunday, and I played on Wednesday. I did a little better, but Alan is remarkable. He hadn't played in over 5 months and therefore didn't do too well on the first few holes. I was in awe of him as his game came back and he improved with every hole. Of course he beat my pants off.

Sunday, afternoon we went to Adams house for a Mothers Day celebration. Unfortunately, all of the moms who were invited could not come, but those that did had a good time. Adam and Chrissy went all out with flowers for all of the moms and a cupcake cake in the shape of a purse.

The rain stopped for a while and it warmed up enough to dry out the place where we park the rig, so we moved it on Wed. It now frees up the driveway so Mike can get his jeep out of the garage and there is now more room to park cars. It had been sitting on the driveway for 10 or more days.

Val & Tony are supposed to be here this Sunday and Chris is flying in on Monday. We are scheduled for a week of golf this next week and Chris is coming to join us. Val and Tony are coming for a visit.

Mike ordered parts for the green houses and we are going to be working on them soon. He has to change the covering on gh1, and he is putting in a cooling system in gh2. The greenhouses have been up for several years and the ends on both greenhouses need to be replaced. He thought that this would be a good time to add the cooling system. He plans to take the fan that is in gh2 and add it to gh1, adding extra air flow.

Nancy seems to be improving every day, since her surgery. She has resumed her hyperbaric treatments and the healing seems to be progressing. We continue to pray for her and hope her recovery is complete.

Ta ta for now

Brakes fixed

Last week we took the coach to Chuck Hutton Chevrolet to have the brakes looked at and fixed. It appears that the left front brake overheated again and we had to have the wheel bearing replaced again. We had the same bearing go out in Denver in 2007. I knew about the right rear, but was unaware of the LF. We also had the brake fluid changed and I had the calipers lubricated back in Houston. I hope that we can get through this trip without mishap.I am saving all of our receipts, so when Navistar does the recall, we hope to get some of our money back. The brakes have become a very expensive issue with our home.

We have been here for almost 3 months and no GOLF. It appears that we are going to play Sunday, finally. Mike's boys and Mike and I have been so busy or our days off don't mesh, or the weather has been bad, so we couldn't get to play. It is only 2 weeks until we have our annual week of golf.I haven't played since last July when we were here last year. Ted had hurt his back, and I didn't have anyone else to play with. I don't play very well, so I don't enjoy playing by myself. I really play for the camaraderie.

Nancy is home and she went to the doctor today to remove some of the accouterments left from her surgery. I hope that she will be able to resume eating after almost a year.

Looking forward to our summer trip. I sent off our weigh-in form to IRV2 for the national rally.
So we are set for that. It will be nice to see Ted and Donna again and a week later seeing Jay & Stella.

We are also looking forward to seeing our daughters, Fred and Lindsay. We will meet them in Idaho on the 12th of August and head back to the Seattle area. Hopefully my son Alex will join us somewhere on our trip to Monroe.
